True, probably language and technical barriers here also.I guess so, I'm not a baby sitter
I’d try to help more but looks like it’s going around in circles and my head hurts already.
Good luck to those offering help and this OP.

Wait, is that cranked/maxxed out?
I wonder if your optical line from the PC is somehow very quiet. Can you try setting up the streaming on the NAD to try playing back something without the PC?

Hello, thats not maximum volume because people in the upper floor will start arriving and asking the police to remove me i an into rented place and here is midnight.
and i live in basemant but still people around me on top of me etcs...
but sound quality is terrible compared to my naim, muso 2 which i recently sold i tried many songs i have listend over naim muso 2..
same recording from digital etcs.. and even from my phone.
The only night and day difference is between naim muso 2 and kef r3 in favour of naim. you can turn up your volume in order to have sorry i record from my phone
I can’t hear anything in that video so I can’t comment on that. You don’t need new speakers, you have something else going on. That M33 has 380 watts at 4 ohms and would easily drive the R3. I think it’s possible the R3 you have may be defective but I really doubt that
Have you tried another set of speakers to rule out the amp?

The member you responded to is deleted and will not be able to answer and many of us think that it is good that way.

Ah ok. Hopefully he just got some powered speakers and called it a day.

This was as painful a thread as I ever did see.
He was right about the night and day difference though, only got light and dark mixed up

If I recall correctly, it didnt end here. New amps were acquired, new speakers sought. Satisfaction never achieved

That whole business was a nightmare... I looked for him in some other forums to see if he ever sorted it out, it all went just as well as here!
It's far easier to screw up setting up R3s than a Muso though.
You need to read all of his other threads...
I’m pretty sure I saw him going off on a Reddit sub as well as I was searching people’s experience with Bi-Amping the R3’s. This thread reeks of user error.
I’m currently running my R3’s on a Denon 3800 and love how they sound, but the upgrade bug hit me and now I’m curious if bi-amping will benefit me. Currently comparing OSD Nero 5 channel, Outlaw 5000x, and Emotiva BasX A5 (only because of it’s manageable physical footprint). You guys have any recommendations? Not looking to splurge on the amp, it’s temporary until I can bite the bullet and go for a Buckeye 6 Channel.
Edit: there’s also a guy in my area selling a Rotel RMB-1075 for $700.

Personally I wouldn't bother.
Certainly not if it's only "temporary". You're apparently not fixing a problem either, since the sound is fine as it is. Unless the sound is going wrong when you turn the volume up, the amp is fine.
There are loads of better upgrades:
Subwoofers
Use the DSP in the amp to treat bass
Better graphical interface for digital music
If you use vinyl, the turntable may stand upgrading
The room(!)
Multichannel (if you don't have it yet)
Most of the time, the amp and DAC are the last items you should be looking to change, unless they are really bad or have failed.
Agree with all of that, and the amp definitely is the last upgrade happening in my rig for the foreseeable future. Subs, all surrounds, and room all upgraded recently. Also happy with my Technic 1210 mk5’s that I use for records. The amp for the LCR is the only thing I haven’t explored, and Ive been on the fence. I dont really even listen at ref level so Im not sure if I’d benefit. I do know the R3’s are power hungry though, definitely not hearing them at their full potential with a 3800.
